On current form would have picked Higham ahead of the Wigan cheap shot merchant.

The sad thing about this whole sorry affair, is certain so called professional sportsmen can't go a short while, without the need for alcohol.

didn't mean their own jaws. I was thinking more Thurston and Smith.

I got that.

It will be interesting with the Burgess rough house style of play but that's nothing new for England internationals ( that's not a dig I'm a fan of a bit of old fashioned contact ) I hope they rile Paul Gallen into doing something stupid.
The Australian sides have the arrogance and the reputation to get away with a lot mind.

They also back their indiscretions up with defensive spells , I'm pretty sure the Top NRL teams give away the most penalties and back it up with their defence ( I read that somewhere , probably an article on Melbournes wrestling ).

I'm sure there will be plenty of fireworks , if it gets out of hand then you'd be looking at replacing your captain I guess , controlled aggression and all of that.

I've got me Beer in the Fridge and some Cold Pizza to set it off with , can't wait , I hope England smashes Australia !!!
